panel saw

Plywood cutting tool

A panel saw is a large stationary saw designed for cutting sheet goods like plywood, particleboard, and MDF.

The blade travels along a track while the panel remains fixed, either vertically or horizontally depending on the design.

Vertical panel saws save floor space in shops: The cabinet shop uses a panel saw to break down full sheets before final cuts.
